Sure, we can reserve some tags - the -x/y syntax would let you refer to a 
conflicting one. But other than PythonCore\x.y for (x, y) <= (3, 4), there 
shouldn't be any need for version or binary checks. Those were needed because 
we didn't write correct tags, but as of Python 3.5 we write good tags and PEP 
514 essentially requires it.
